Perspektiver fra forskningen på det musikkpedagogiske konseptet Jedem Kind ein Instrument [Et instrument til hvert barn] i Tyskland1

The German JeKi programme (An instrument for every child) aims at offering primary school children the opportunity to learn an instrument in school. For this, primary schools cooperate with music schools. In order to scientifically evaluate processes and effects of this programme, the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) has funded JeKi research for a total of seven years. This article outlines interdisciplinary research questions und key results of studies ranging from music education, music psychology, neurosciences to educational sciences. Central points of interest are aspects of effects, cooperation, quality and participation.
